There are plenty of fish in the sea … but this romantic pirate perch has eyes for only one. This Valentine’s Day, watch as the swashbuckling perch woos a feisty damselfish with puns galore!
"Arr! Gaze upon me kindly.
Ye do not need a knightfish.
Or a charmin’ princefish.
No as-you-wish fish.
Ye need only me, yer lovin’ pirate perch,
here in the sea.”
"A ... pirate?"
Follow along as one hapless pirate perch does his best to woo the damselfish he’s got his eye on. Can he convince her that they’re the perfect pair? Dive into ichthyology—that’s the study of fish, for you landlubbers—for the first time with this romantic pair and lots of fishy puns!
Hilariously clever, Judith L. Roth’s latest picture book, Fishy Valentine, is perfect for Valentine’s Day fun, pun lovers, and fish fans. Educational back matter introduces young readers to each of the very real fish mentioned throughout the book.
